Maybe Epi sales of the Ltd. Edition Ripper weren't so bad after all that they had the guts to reissue this.
Je suis amazed. I wouldn't have expected to see a Grabber or a Ripper reissue by Gibson, much less both, in my lifetime. Seems to me that Gibson's marketing dept has decided to no longer leave the market for maple basses untapped. And maybe that guy who plays an old Ripper with the Foo Fighters has had an influence too.
Now I want a Mel Schacher, Peter Cetera and Gene Simmons signature ltd ed of it!!!
Make way for the fat bottomed girls.
